After graduating from Harvard Law School, Rick opened a one lawyer law office in Sitka, Alaska. He focused on becoming the best trial lawyer he could be and using the legal system to correct injustice. Over time, other lawyers began coming to him, asking for help in overcoming defense tactics that distort the truth. Eventually, this led to Rick writing four best-selling books for trial lawyers: Rules of the Road,Polarizing the Case,Becoming a Trial Lawyer,andThe Elements of Trial.As the firm grew, Rick, with the help of the highly accomplished trial teams at Friedman | Rubin, won verdicts that have made the world safer and more fair for average citizens. Four of these verdicts have been ranked in the top ten verdicts in the United States in the years they were returned. See ourverdictsandnewspages for details.

Richard H. Friedman Reviews

Rick Friedman is one of the best lawyers in the country in a wide variety of cases from insurance disputes, to catastrophic injury cases. He is also one of the leading trial strategy authors of his generation, with two best selling legal texts to his credit.

As Rick and his team prosecuted the truth on our behalf, the financial resources afforded my wife and I by the jury’s verdict has allowed us to better focus on adapting and living with the struggles of long-term care associated with my traumatic brain injury.

Rick is a ‘David’ that has taken down many ‘Goliaths’. He is a great lawyer who has obtained great results for his clients. His practice covers a wide range of areas of the law, which range from personal injury to insurance disputes, and he excels at all of them.
